Share one fetch and transcode among concurrent misses (closes #65)
check / check (push) Successful in 6m19s

Requests that missed the same variant at once each fetched and
transcoded it. They now share one call through
golang.org/x/sync/singleflight, keyed on the variant cache key. The
first request processes the variant with a context that ignores its
cancellation but keeps its deadline; the others wait for its result,
holding no connection or processing slot, and return as soon as their
own context ends. The processing request waits even then, up to its
deadline. Each request counts one miss; the processing counts its fetch
and transcode once. A panic while processing is reported through the
request's Sentry hub, when there is one, and becomes an error instead
of stopping pixad.

expiry gets one year. `immutable` only stops a client revalidating while its
copy is fresh.
When several requests for the same image, size, format, quality and fit miss
the cache at once, they share one upstream fetch (or one read of the cached
source) and one transcode: the first request does the work, and the others wait
for its image or its error, holding no upstream connection or processing slot
of their own. A waiting request stops waiting when its own client goes away.
The work goes on for the others even if the first request's client goes away,
until that request's `downstream_timeout` ends.
The login form (`POST /`) is limited to 5 attempts per minute per client

refused with 429 and a `Retry-After` header. Behind a reverse proxy the client
